dovecot - Oct 2009 - Dovecot 1.2.4 - assertion crash in view_lookup_seq_range

Hi all,

We have a number of machines running Dovecot 1.2.4 that have been assert
crashing occasionally. It looks like it's occurring when the users
expunge their mailboxes, but I'm not sure as I can't reproduce it
myself. The error in the logs is:

Oct  6 07:33:09 oh-popmap3p dovecot: imap: user=<YYYY>, rip=XXXX,
pid=11931: Panic: file mail-index-view.c: line 264

GDB stack information and some additional details are available here:

We are planning to go to 1.2.6 sometime in the next week or two, but I
thought I'd try to track this particular error down just in case it's
still an issue after the upgrade.

I think it's this bug fixed in 1.2.5:
